Mason Greenwood has helped fire Getafe into the top half of La Liga in the opening months of his season-long loan from Manchester United. And Getafe president Angel Torres has no intention of losing the Red Devils forward at the end of his temporary spell amid intensifying transfer speculation.<\/p>\n
Greenwood left United for Spain on transfer deadline day after then-chief executive Richard Arnold made a U-turn on his decision to reintegrate him into Erik ten Hag’s squad.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag expected to have the 22-year-old at his disposal this season, but plans changed due to internal and external backlash.<\/p>\n
Greenwood has been gradually getting back up to speed at Getafe, scoring four goals and providing three assists in his first 13 appearances.<\/p>\n
His performances have reportedly caught the eye of a number of clubs across Europe, including Lazio and Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n
But Greenwood is said to be enjoying life in Madrid, and Getafe are keen to extend his stay beyond next summer.<\/p>\n
“With Greenwood, we are not only planning on him staying another year, but we also want to buy him,” club president Torres told Cadena SER.<\/p>\n
